Great Decisions Foreign Policy Discussion Group

The nation's largest discussion program on world affairs starts its fall session at Budlong Woods, running eight consecutive Monday evenings beginning September 14 at 6 PM. Each week covers a distinct foreign-policy topic — including Trump-era trade policy, U.S.-China relations, and nuclear proliferation — with required pre-meeting readings drawn from a loaned study guide. Registration assumes a commitment to all eight sessions, and participants pick up their guide from the library's circulation desk starting August 31. It's a structured, intellectually serious option for anyone who wants to move past headlines on global issues.
